Barbarian
Base Class: Barbarian

Barbarians of the Thunder Blood Path are touched by a storm that lives within their veins—lightning that thrashes when they feel fear, thunder that answers their fury, and a chaotic red glow beneath their skin that pulses like a wounded heart. Some say this power is divine. Some say it is a curse. Those who bear it know only one truth:

The storm is always there.
And it remembers.

Storm-Blooded Soul

3rd-level Path of Thunder Blood feature

Your emotions crackle with arcane energy.

You gain the following benefits:

  • You learn the gust cantrip (Constitution is your spellcasting ability).

  • When you roll on the Tempest Surge table, you may reroll once and must use the second result.

Additionally, your lightning and thunder effects ignore resistance at levels 10 and 14.

 

Tempest Surge

3rd-level Path of Thunder Blood feature

When you choose this path, your rage awakens a chaotic storm within you.

Whenever you enter a rage, roll on the Tempest-Blooded Surge Table (d8). The effect lasts until your rage ends.

Your surges grow stronger and more focused. When you roll on the Tempest Magic table, apply the following upgrades to that result (only the result you rolled benefits):

  • Teleport distances increase by +10 feet.

Protection of the Stormblood

10th-level Path of Thunder Blood Feature

When you are imperiled during your rage, the tempest inside you lashes out.
Immediately after you take damage or fail a saving throw while raging, you can use your reaction to:

  • Reroll on your Tempest Magic table, and 

  • Immediately produce the new surge, replacing your current one.Your command of storm power lets you shield others.

While you are raging, each creature of your choice within 10 feet of you gains resistance to lightning or thunder damage (your choice when you enter the rage).

  • Surge Growth: If the same surge result is active on consecutive turns, its damage increases by +1d6 (this stacks up to +3d6 total for repeated consecutive turns).

  • Area Increase: Any surge area or range increases by an additional +5 feet for effects that specify a radius or range.

Avatar of the Storm

14th-level Path of the Tempest-Blooded feature — peak mastery

You become a living avatar of storm and chaos.

  • While raging, you gain immunity to lightning damage and resistance to thunder damage.

  • When you roll on the Tempest Magic table, you may choose any one result from the table instead of rolling.

  • Tempest Bolt (once per rage): As part of a melee attack, once per rage when you hit a creature you can call down a bolt of primal lightning: the target takes 6d6 lightning damage, and each creature of your choice within 10 feet of it must make a Constitution saving throw or take 3d6 thunder damage and be pushed 15 feet. After using Tempest Bolt, you can still use or choose surges normally for the remainder of the rage.
